Question

Have a question about synchronizing nested promises when using $q in Angular. Will the following code ensure that the entire chain of promises is waited for? Meaning will th

Yes it looks like Kevin is correct. I created a quick test in angular as well to confirm the behavior.

angular.module('myModule').controller('testController', function ($q,$scope) {

  function promiseCall(data,timeout) {
    var deferred = $q.defer();

    setTimeout(function() {
      deferred.resolve(data);
      console.log(data);
    }, timeout);

    return deferred.promise;
  }

  var a = promiseCall('call1 a',1000).then(function(){
    return promiseCall('call2 a',50);
  });

  var b = promiseCall('call1 b',500);

  var c = promiseCall('call1 c',1000).then(function(){
    return promiseCall('call2 c',50).then(function(){
      return promiseCall('call3 c',6000);
    });
  });

  $q.all([a,b,c]).then(function(res){
    console.log('all calls are done');
  });

});
